President
Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday communicated his appreciation of North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un for making moves to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula,
saying that he would even congratulate him when he meets him.
"Naging
idol ko tuloy siya, [si] Kim Jong Un. For all of the time, he was pictured to
be the bad boy of the community," Duterte said in a press conference at
the Davao International Airport upon his arrival from Singapore.
"But
with one master stroke, he is now the hero of everybody. He appear(s) to be
amiable, jolly good fellow, and very accommodating," Duterte added.

Kim
even offered to visit the South Korean capital of Seoul whenever if Moon
welcomes him.
Duterte
trusts that Kim will stay as he is today since "nobody is really after
him."
"So
I think ... the man of the hour would be Kim Jong Un. And someday, if I get to
meet him, I'd like to congratulate him," he said.
"Sabihin
ko sa kanya, 'bilib ako sa'yo. Marunong ka mag-timing.' Kaya heroism is
sometimes left to chance, otherwise it's purposely timed," Duterte added.
Duterte
is also hoping that Kim would befriend him in order to prevent further
conflicts among Asian countries.
"Ituring
na lang niya akong isang kaibigan because this will promote -- the impact is
really, there is less stress now in the Korean Peninsula. And maybe, just
maybe, we can avoid a war which nobody can win anyway."
